Odoo 17 Financial Management - How is the Opening Balance added?

The Opening Balance for the Business Operations should be introduced in order to display the amount of cash that is readily available in each account of operations. The components of the opening balance will provide you with information about the finances that are accessible when the firm is just getting started. Let's go on to understand how to define the starting balance of the firm in Odoo.

Step 1: The accounting module's onboarding panel will provide us the opportunity to examine and add starting debits and credits for your chart of accounts.

When you click the Review option, you will be sent to a screen where you may add initial balances.

Step 2: Opening balance can be added by mentioning the debit or credit amount in respective ledgers.

Save the details after adding the balance of each account.

Step 3: A new Journal Entry with the reference "Opening Journal Entry" is created automatically upon saving in the Accounting menu > Journal Entries.

Step 4: If an account opening debit of credit fails to add, it can be added by modifying a journal entry that has already been written.

Step 5: Once a draft journal entry has been opened, we can view all the entries we entered into each ledger, with a reference to the 'Opening Journal Entry.' The difference between the Credit and Debit values is immediately sent to the '999999 Undistributed Profits/Losses Account,' which Odoo provides for automated balancing.

Step 6: Additionally, alter the accounting date for when the account ledgers are affected by the Opening Balance added. Now, post the journal entry

Step 7: The data is added to the balance sheet once it is posted.

Step 8: If we need to update account ledgers with a specific Credit or Debit sum that was missed while entering the Opening Journal, they can be added by manually entering them in a journal entry with a reference ‘opening journal entry’. It is critical to remember that when posting, you must supply the right accounting date, which must agree with the date the entry was entered in the balance sheet.

With the release of Odoo 17, we will be able to evaluate and import data from the accounting module's configuration settings.

With the 'Review Manually' option, the user may check the balance in the chart of accounts, and the 'Import' function allows the importing of contacts, charts of accounts, and journal entries.
